Chapter 1 Prologue

5 years ago.....

"Hey Brendan I need to talk to you", Elisha approached best friend. He was chilling by his car with two of his friends who shamelessly checked her out.

"What's up Lisha?" He asked, Lisha was her nickname from him since kindergarten.

"In private", she added looking at his friends who said bye and left.

"Do you want to go to my house or yours?" He opened the passenger side for her of his car.

"I can't be long my brother is picking me up soon, we're moving", she looked away.

"Text him, we'll drive around town while we talk", Brendan suggested.

"I only got five minutes", Elisha said.

"Okay, then start talking Lisha, you're worrying me", he frowned.

"When I move, I don't think I'm coming back here", she began.

"But we still will keep in contact right?" He asked.

"Yes of course", she nodded.

"Good because you know we're a team and this year we planned to run the school together", he joked.

"Not if Stephanie does it first", Elisha rolled her eyes.

"Nah you're irreplaceable", he assured her.

"At least Layla doesn't have to fight me for vice captain spot this year in softball", she shrugged.

"Oh yeah I was sure you would of been captain since I'm captain of the baseball team", Brendan boasted.

"Promise me one thing?" She asked.

"Anything", he replied.

"That if I am in any sort of trouble, you'll be there when I call for help?"

"I promise", he sworn.

"Good, but this is not goodbye Brendan, I'll be back." she assured him.

"And I'll be waiting for that call", he smiled.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
